Meet Mariel Mendez | Artist

We had the good fortune of connecting with Mariel Mendez and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Mariel, what principle do you value most?
Having a purpose in your actions should always be paramount. For me, holding a meeting, an exhibition, a collection, even a collaboration, it is important to consider the people, for what purpose we are doing it, what is the intention of the project and of course. It must always be the best intention and a positive purpose.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
Without a doubt I feel proud of myself because I left my comfort state eight years ago that I have developed my emotional state to be able to get along with people around me.

For me there is no such moment to say “I already feel satisfied”. It is always a continuous effort and constant work that accumulates challenges, solutions, failures, moments of satisfaction, etc. Every day is different and with a new story to tell.

I have learned along the way that your willingness and attitude are the two virtues that will lead you to a magnitude of immense social growth. I don’t just mean being “kind” or always pleasing the people who surround you or who are your followers, but I mean having an open mind, always being willing to undertake, work, make an effort and of course have the best attitude while you go through the whole process. Be positive, be optimistic, dreamy why not?…

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I think I would definitely invite you to walk in downtown San Diego, eat Italian food, have a good coffee, ice cream, go shopping, visit some second-hand stores, have a delicious dinner, there are several restaurants in San Diego that I like but also restaurants Fast food like IN-N-OUT or Shake Shak fascinate me! Haha
